Providing energy dense food supplements within a general household food distribution has little effect on the weight of children at risk of malnutrition, new research shows.

Giving energy dense food supplements -- Ready-to-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF), a lipid-based nutrient supplement -- to young children in addition to a general food distribution in a country with food shortages (Chad) did not reduce levels of wasting (low weight for height, a sign of acute undernutrition) but slightly increased their height and haemoglobin levels according to a study conducted by the international non-governmental organization Action Against Hunger-France (ACF-France) in collaboration with European researchers published in this week's PLOS Medicine.

Sir, I know you are among the best and the brightest.
So let me ask you if you know where babies come from, and if so does the number of babies born have any relationshiop to malnutiion.
Finally, I have to ask you does your personal faith require you to continue to believe in the Green Revolution?

the majority oof these children will no doubt arrive here in the UK anyway, Demanding, money ,house, benefits. In between carrying out crime. it is time to cut the third world loose. To help them as they go we should deport all immigrants and their families from the last 60 years. this would give us a country with 10 million less spongers more room ample housing self sufficient in food and energy and water. in all a better life for the people of Britain.

Of course we abhor malnutrition in children in any society. But in the arid lands of Sub-Sahara Africa is malnutrition a product of a shortage of food or an excess of population? The answer is both, but the NGOs and G20 only discuss the food issue. Well done to Melinda Gates and a valiant few others who are prepared to discuss birth control issues.

Well the PM should commit himself to projects that stops mulnutritions. The funds will only be released if the Britains Citizens are employed to monitor the programme, food is grown for the people affected by mulnutritions and excess should be sold and harvested again. People suffering they want to be self dependent. Give the area small loans once they are sufficient then the person who has taken loan can return and other people can apply for loan. The people who are suffering are clear building and with little help they would homes, schools. As soon as they have diginified life they do not want to immigrate because they are proud of their heritage.
